MONEY MATTERS

3

Residents struggle to stay afloat as income disparity in Toronto grows JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com North York resident Cathleen Trinh, mom to three-year-old Charlie, keeps a fairly tight rein on her finances.

Trinh, who works in Richmond Hill, directs a notable portion of her earnings to child care.

"It is manageable with my income. I’m pretty lucky, but it could be better," said Trinh, who is on a waiting list for a child care subsidy. "The Canada Child Tax Benefit helps me a lot."

Since becoming a single mom a year ago, Trinh said she’s learned a lot more about how to access government resources and tax breaks. She’s currently working to save up enough money to purchase a property in the city.

"One of the major financial challenges is trying to own something. It’s basically impossible," admitted Trinh, who came to Canada from Germany 14 years ago. "I have not given up hope on home ownership, but I’m not ready for it yet. Maybe in the next year if the prices aren’t crazy."

Trinh’s situation is a common one for people in Toronto who earn between $40,000 and $90,000 annually.

MIDDLE CLASS CHALLENGES ANDREA GASCA A Beach resident for 16 years, Andreea Gasca is prepared to make sacrifices so that her 12-year-old daughter Nikita can reap the benefits of growing up in a diverse, multicultural city.

"I’m staying in Toronto because of what it can teach my child. I want my daughter to have an open mind. From an arts and culture standpoint, Toronto offers so much," shared Gasca, who works for the Attorney General’s office.

Originally from Montreal, Gasca said to stay afloat she’s had to find creative ways to stretch a dollar.

"We’ve developed an addiction to Value Village and the Facebook (buy and sell) groups. You have to find ways to make it work," said Gasca, who has only taken one vacation in 12 years. "It’s tough to get ahead, to make ends meet."

Gasca said inflation is a key reason why she struggles to get ahead even if her income has increased in recent years.

ALICIA PENNY Scarborough resident Alicia Penny, her partner, and their two-year-old son, Elijah, are also working hard to stay afloat.

Toronto is home and she feels her family has the right to live here.

"Our roots are here. It’s just too much to up and move somewhere else where you don’t know anybody," she told Metroland Media Toronto.

Penny, who has lived in the city for the majority of her life, said one of the challenges her young family faces is the cost of housing.

"It requires a lot of juggling," she admitted.

Both Penny, who works in landscaping, and her partner, a mechanic by trade, are both currently receiving disability benefits. She said the challenge is that any extra income earned or any savings or assets they had are counted against them.

"It’s tough to get ahead," she said.

which still ring true today, also show that the average income is rising significantly in downtown and the north end, essentially pushing out those who earn less.

Sean Meagher, executive director of Social Planning Toronto, spends his days advocating for affordability for Toronto’s roughly one million households.

Together with his team, he works to build a Toronto where everyone has the "means to participate" in society.

"We don’t want people pushed into pockets. We want people to be able to live everywhere in the city and afford to do so," he said. "I think it’s valuable (to the city) and an investment we have to make."

Recently, the council has been pushing Toronto to do better in a campaign of the same name. Part of "Toronto Can Do Better" includes lobbying the city to look at the bigger picture and invest in transit, good jobs, and affordable housing in its 2017 budget.

"Our view is, let’s budget smart. We want a plan that makes sense. It’s about making choices that meet our needs versus the numbers we like," he said, pointing to the importance of considering interconnections like the health benefits of providing people with affordable, quality housing when it comes to city budgeting.

Cathleen Trinh and her son Charlie, 3, are feeling the financial pressures of living in Toronto.

York, would love to own her own home in the city but realizes it’s just not possible with her family’s $80,000 annual income and their current monthly expenditures, which includes $2,000 for daycare.

"We could afford the mortgage payment but the challenge is to pay down our consumer debt and save for the down payment," said Danielle, who asked to not use her full name for privacy reasons.

"Five years would be the earliest my partner and I could consider a house, if all things fall into place."

Regardless, she said the benefits of city life, notably its diversity, walka-

bility, and access to public transit, outweigh the dream of home ownership.

A decade ago, University of Toronto professor David Hulchanski published a groundbreaking report, Three Cities Within Toronto, which looked at income polarization in Toronto by neighbourhood from 1970 to 2005.

In early 2015, Hulchanski and his team of researchers provided an update to that initial report.

They found that the city’s wealth is becoming even more concentrated in the central part of the city with less affluent areas growing in Toronto’s outer limits. The findings,

to help politicians better understand how budget cuts directly impact real people’s lives and how adding to the city’s coffers through a small property tax increase can be beneficial for all.

WoodGreen Community Services, a long-standing social service agency in east Toronto, is one of many organizations across the city helping Torontonians find ways to afford their lives and thrive.

"Income stress affects all income levels. You don’t have to be in the lowest income bracket to feel the stress of affordability," said Diane Dyson, director of research and public policy. "We help people who are trying to find resources."

Dyson and her colleagues work to better understand how decisions made by the government directly affect people’s lives, and identify and improve the "missing pieces" in the system. A major part of their work is addressing the lack of affordable housing in Toronto.

For Steven Vanderherberg, the agency’s director of strategic initiatives, it’s all about helping people living with less find the right balance of income and expenses, and to help them be autonomous and better "afford their lives."

WoodGreen runs yearlong income tax clinics as well as a host of Financial Empowerment Services to help people increase their financial literacy, manage their debt, create a budget, access government income sources.

EDITORIAL | OPINION

• OUR VIEW •

ABOUT US

Let’s not shoot the messengers There’s a troubling trend taking place in the political discourse of late.

The news media is in the crosshairs and coming under increasing fire by those who would prefer to be the subject of propaganda instead of public scrutiny.

The latest salvo came Friday when U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a double whammy, with White House press secretary Sean Spicer barring a number of news agencies, including the New York Times and CNN, from the daily briefing and the commander-inchief himself again referring to the media as "the enemy of the American people" in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

It’s an escalation of a campaign intended to sow distrust in the media that’s been ongoing since Trump’s election campaign, with Orwellian terms such as "alternative facts" and "fake news" now entering the lexicon.

A free press is an institution so integral to a functioning democracy that Thomas Jefferson is famously quoted as having said: "Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." That’s among the reasons why many academics and experts have expressed concern with the Trump administration’s repeatedly adversarial stance toward the media with retired Navy Admiral William McRaven, leader of the 2011 operation that killed Osama bin Laden, calling it "the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime" and Republican Senator John McCain cautioning that suppressing the press is "how dictators get started."

While the hostility toward the media is not as prevalent here in Canada, it’s becoming more common to see eerily similar rhetoric dotting the comments sections of news websites and social media feeds.

A big part of the news media’s role is holding elected officials, at all levels of government, to account for their actions and the decisions they make and to protect your right to know.

At the same time, we’re accountable for our coverage to you, the public.

It’s OK for politicians and the public to disagree with the manner in which a story is covered or offer additional information that can make the narrative more clear but there’s a massive difference between that and allegations of fabrication and deliberate falsehood.

By all means, don’t hesitate to critique and question news stories, we welcome it but let’s also be careful not to shoot the messenger.

Serving universities, living in poverty They serve meals on Toronto campuses, but can they afford meat for their families?

They deal with hundreds of customers a day, and are expected to smile.

Until now. Food servers at York University and University of Toronto Scarborough are on strike.

Keisha Latty, on the job at York for 11 years, says the pay is insulting.

She needs $1,200 for rent, plus babysitting money and food for her three kids. Last week, she hadn’t paid her February rent, and March was just days away.

"You can’t afford to buy food in the city anymore.

There’s no affordable rent in the city anymore," Latty says. And TTC fares go

Latty actually has one of the highest salaries in her unit, $15.41 an hour.

Most of the 220 people represented by UNITE Here, Local 75 on York’s Downsview campus, and 60 at UTSC, get $11.50 to $12.21.

$12.21, not up even by $2.

"How do you feed a family?" she asks. "How?" Their contracts are not with the universities but Aramark, a U.S. company.

Meanwhile, servers at U of T’s St. George campus, working for U of T directly, get $18 or $20 an hour.

Servers at the suburban campuses deserve those same wages, wages they can live on.

Darrell and Maureen Jansen have served UTSC students and staff for 10 years.

Maureen gets $11.50, Darrell $12.66; he was promoted recently but Aramark didn’t increase his pay.

Their two children are in college. The Jansens rent a north Scarborough house for $1,000 a month, have no savings, and while

on strike, no income.

Like other servers, they say their fight isn’t just for money but the next generation. They also want more respect from an employer constantly pushing more work on them.

"We are strong. We will fight to our last," Maureen says.

Growing fast and planning big things, York and UTSC say they’re "anchor institutions" committed to raising up the communities around them. That’s a lie if full-time employees on those campuses don’t make a living wage.

COLUMN

Millennial Mission: everything you need to know Employment.

Education. Entrepreneurship.

These are the three pillars upon which the Millennial Mission is built.

Metroland Media has embarked on a conversation with a generation of people who are currently finding their niche in a competitive world.

Through this conversation our journalists will investigate if students currently enrolled in post-secondary education in Ontario are being adequately prepared for the constantly changing workforce.

We ask students in colleges and universities to answer the question:, "Why are I here?" And their answers, on video, are as unique as should be expected from a demographic that won’t be pigeonholed.

We look at the job market from all sides and ask

those in the know to predict where savvy wage earners should place their hopes, dreams and aspirations for a rewarding career.

We also talk to employers about their expectations from the education system, from workers and where they are placing their bets for a secure economic future.

This is a demographic that defies description and

for many individuals in their 20s and early 30s, a job just won’t cut it. Entrepreneurship is as likely a path to a successful future as a job or handful of degrees and Millennials are creating their own future through creativity, daring, hard work and sheer will.

Our conversation focuses on their journey as well.

The Millennial Mission is now live on our website at insidetoronto.com/millennialmission Visit us and see what young people are saying now about the future. And then visit us again because we’re not done yet. This conversation is lively, pointed, and informative and it will go on for as long as you have questions to be answered about possible future paths.

Come talk with us. We’re listening.

Award celebrates democracy If there is one feature found in democracy that places it above other political philosophies, it is its ability to allow for the open expression of minority points of view.

Yes, you may have to fight constantly in order survive in the realities of democracy’s political processes to express those views.

However, once you catch the attention of those who hold power you can often bend their will to serve your purpose.

One such person who was a master at doing that was Agnes Macphail (1890 1954) who was the first woman to be elected to the Canadian House of Commons.

She was also one of the first two women elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

Originally from Grey County in the rugged Bruce Peninsula, Agnes began her career as a school teacher serving in rural areas in southwestern Ontario.

JOE COOPER Watchdog After 1919, when it first became legal for women in Canada to vote and hold a political office, Macphail worked hard to be nominated to run for a seat in the Federal government.

She achieved this goal and in 1921 became the first woman to be elected to the House of Commons.

Despite her historically significant achievement, her fellow parliamentarians treated her with patronizing disdain but her strong will and determination soon changed that attitude to one of respect.

During her tenure, she

was not only a strong voice for the farming community, she was also the first woman appointed as a member to the Canadian delegation to the League of Nations.

She was also an important advocate of prison reform in this country with many significant achievements.

In 1943, she became one of the first two women elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, representing York East.

On Friday March 24 at 7 p.m. in True Davidson Council Chambers of the East York Civic Centre, the citizens of East York will again celebrate the life of Agnes Macphail and her continued positive influence on our community.

Stormwater is rain and melted snow.

When not absorbed into the ground, it runs off properties onto streets, down storm drains and through a complex network of pipes that carry it into local waterways or, in some cases, wastewater treatment facilities. Generally, the more hard surfaces a property has the more stormwater it adds to the stormwater system.

RESIDENTIAL Assumes annual water use of 265 cubic metres and a lot size of 0.037 ha (approx. 4,000 sq ft)

®

What is the challenge?

An increase in extreme storms, combined with more hard surfaces in the city is resulting in more water making its way into the stormwater system. Too much water can overwhelm the system leading to flooded basements and poor water quality in local waterways, including Lake Ontario.

How is stormwater managed?

Making infrastructure improvements is necessary to manage the impacts of stormwater. To help manage stormwater, the City is creating new holding ponds, tanks and tunnels, and overhauling some sewer infrastructure that is more than 100 years old.

How will a stormwater charge affect water bills?

The proposal is to remove the portion paid for stormwater – currently embedded in the water rate – and show it as a separate charge on the bill. The water rate will decrease and a stormwater charge will be added. The amount paid for stormwater will be based on property size and the average amount of hard surfaces on properties of a similar size. Some bills will go up and some will go down.

The examples on the right use proposed 2019 water rates. They are examples only, because water use and lot size differ for all properties.

Why is a stormwater charge being considered?

There is a growing need for new and upgraded stormwater infrastructure.

Toronto City Council will be considering the stormwater charge in the spring of 2017. insidetoronto.com

East Toronto residents who support inclusivity and unity in their community can now make their views known with home and lawn signs.

For last month or so, members of the East Enders Against Racism Collective (EEAR) have been working together on a new sign campaign, which will be launched with a meetand-greet-event Saturday, March 4 from 10 a.m. to noon at the East York Civic Centre, 850 Coxwell Ave. During this time, people can meet their neighbours, discuss ideas for future EEAR initiatives, and pick up the sign(s). Those unable to make it this Saturday, can pick up signs at Old’s Cool General Store, 250 Westlake Ave. at Lumsden Avenue.

EEAR’s sign project started earlier this year when Saba Khan, one of the group’s organizers, saw some signs featuring welcoming messages for refugees popping up on lawns in Toronto. She and others in the collective felt a similar concept could work for their group and its anti-racism efforts.

"We wanted to make sure the signs we were creating were from a wider lens," she said during a recent interview with The Mirror.

In the end, two messages were selected: Everyone Belongs and United Against Hate. The signs were translated into French, Bengali, Arabic,

Any additional funds will be used for the collective’s future projects.

The East Enders Against Racism collective was formed back in November after white supremacist posters were plastered in and around East York’s Stan Wadlow Park.
